Well done Kirsten!
We had lots of lovely comments about your display board !

We are very pleased to announce and congratulate Kirsten Ciddelapaz as this year’s winner of our Oral Care Practice Display Board Competition!

The aim of this optional task is to bring together learning on oral health and to create an eye-catching display to promote the importance of oral health care to clients.

Kirsten was delighted to hear from a client that has been feeding their cat dental treats to aid with dental care, since reading her display board.

A MARS Chocolate Hamper is on its way to Kirsten, with thanks to our sponsor Mars Petcare.

🐾 Meet Batman – our tiniest little superhero! 🦇

This adorable 4 week old kitten came in last week for a health check with our Veterinary Surgeon, Eoin. Despite being orphaned and hand-reared, Batman is thriving 💪💙

His devoted human carers wanted to make sure he’s growing well, and Eoin was happy to report that he’s doing brilliantly. Of course, we couldn’t resist sneaking in a cuddle with one of our smallest (and cutest!) patients. 🐱💕

Found at the Poulshot turning towards Seend. Unfortunately we have been unable to find a microchip.

People dressed in costumes and unexpected knocks at the door can be confusing and scary for many dogs. Here are our Halloween top tips:

🎃 Be careful when opening the door so your dog doesn’t accidentally
escape

👻 If your dog is really worried, consider a sign saying ‘nervous dog, please do not knock’. You could still leave treats out for children to help themselves

🍬 Keep human sweets and chocolate safely out of your dog’s reach

🧛 Keep dressing up for humans only. Costumes can feel restrictive and prevent your pet from communicating their discomfort

🐾 4 in 5 dogs over the age of 8 are living with chronic joint pain.🐾

🔎Spotting arthritis isn’t always easy. Dogs are good at hiding discomfort, and signs like lameness or stiffness can be subtle - especially when more than one leg is affected.

Early detection makes a big difference. With the right treatment, we can slow the progression of arthritis and help your dog stay active and comfortable for longer.

Worried about your dog’s mobility?
📞Book an appointment today:01380728505

To help spot the signs early, we recommend the Dog Mobility App (DogMA) from the University of Liverpool - a free, easy to use, scientifically validated tool that helps you assess your dog’s mobility at home.

Do you recognise me?

This lovely cat has been brought into us after being noticed to have a sore paw and hanging around for a week. Unfortunately we couldn't find a microchip and no one has yet come forward.

There is a foster home in a rescue waiting if we can't locate the owner.

Proof of ownership required. Found Bishops Cannings area.
